Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Believe it or not, there was not a single Christian who even showed a sign of belief in the resurrection of Christ until they were compelled to believe by His very appearance.

Witnesses Of The Light

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 15, 2021

In John's prologue of his gospel, he refers to the person and work of the forerunner of God's Messiah. John the Baptist had the honor of being that individual and was one of a long line of biblical witnesses to the promise of the coming Redeemer.

John the Baptist is described in the opening verse of John's Gospel as a man who was sent from God to bear witness of the Light that is the Lord Jesus Christ. John made it clear, however, that the Baptist was not that light. There had been disciples of John the Baptist who had carried his ...read more

The Great Commission

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

From three of the gospel writers we find “four” accounts of the Great Commission. As we examine each account, we gain a better understanding of what Jesus requires, and what we are able to accomplish through the Lord’s power.

This morning we are going to look at four separate passages on what is known among believers as The Great Commission. The Great Commission is all about missions, since the word “commission” contains the word “mission” in it. Now, that word “commission” means, “charge, order, or mandate.”(1) This ...read more

Ascension (And Decension)

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 7, 2022

I would like to talk about Ascending with Christ in our bodies by the Cross, which helps our minds and ideas. John Chrysostom said that the Cross establishes my thoughts, so that I may sing and glorify Thy saving Ascension.”

Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 20, 2022

When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus.

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 29, 2022

No external law can fix a problem that comes from deep within a twisted mind and heart.

Ascension 2022 I polished up my Ascension Day homily last Sunday. Then I tore it up on Tuesday afternoon. Senseless, mindless murder down the road in Uvalde, a place many of us have visited or lived.

Unbelievable Scars

Contributed by K. Heath Mcdougal-Deans on Apr 20, 2021

Ascension is an important even after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We need to understand it, study the dynamics and experience the blessings of the day.

We celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in grand style. When it comes to Ascension and Pentecost, we seem to be slow on it. These events are at the heart of our Christian faith.
